#1 Kagiso Rabada (South Africa)

Rabada is showing the world that he can succeed Dale Steyn as the leader of South Africa's fast bowling department. Rabada had a spectacular Under-19 World Cup in 2014. He was the best bowler in the tournament and picked 14 wickets from his five matches. His bowling exploits helped South Africa win their first World Cup.
Soon after his U-19 World Cup achievements, Rabada was roped into the national team. His performances have been even more impressive in the international cricket and currently, he is one of the world's best fast bowlers.
Rabada has taken an impressive 102 wickets from his 22 Test matches. He has seven five-wicket hauls and three 10-wicket hauls so far.
There is no denying the fact that the 22-year old will be a fast bowling legend when he retires.
